ISU gymnastics coach Bob Conkling announced that he has signed two athletes to national letters of intent. They will join ISU next fall.

Melissa Mann, of North Vancouver, British Columbia, is a graduate of Sentinel Secondary School and has spent the past year training for the Elite Canada trials. Mann, who specializes in the floor routine and vault, is a member of the Flicka Gymnastics Club, the same club that produced current Redbird Cheryl Berezan.

Stacey Rowley of New Albany, Ind., also a floor and vault performer, is a senior at New Albany High School. She trains at South Indiana Gymnastics School, the club where current Redbird Whitney Albright trained.
